Iberostar Selection Playa de Palma

5 star in every way great pool beach and access to beachside restaurants palma old town 8 miles away but can be reached by express bus also taxi to old town for $20

Few steps away from beach, the boardwalk has a party vibe. Clean room, a little pricey, breakfast buffet is so worth it, nice staff in general. The only negative was the front desk was not very helpful after loosing iPods. They didn’t even ask the location of where we lost it. The snack bar needs a variety of other items. It also runs out quickly.

The services and the staff were great!!

Nice and clean rooms, a filtered water dispenser on each floor so you don't have to lug big jugs of water from the store to your room every day, very welcoming and helpful staff, and located just across the street from the beach. It was also far enough away from the party disctrict that we didn't hear it at all, and close enough to Palma that you can take a bus/cab/Uber without it being excessively expensive (depending on time of day). A plethora of good restaurants and bars to choose from close by, and small shops along the boardwalk to buy souvenirs or snack/food/drinks. The wristbands they hand out are a little annoying at first, but are very handy instead of having to deal with a keycards that you'll inevitably end up losing and have to replace. Only drawback is that the hedges/screening around the hotel pool area (which is understandably required) stopped most of the sea breeze from coming in, thus making it feel very hot and hard to stay by the pool to tan/relax without needing a dip in the pool every 15 minutes. All in all we enjoyed our stay here and will definitely consider it for our next trip.
